Commvault expands Cloud Rewind Azure coverage

Commvault announced enhancements to its Cloud Rewind product, expanding Microsoft — Microsoft Azure resource coverage for configuration protection and recovery. The expansion increases Azure protection coverage to 62% of enterprise-relevant Azure resource types, a threefold increase. Cloud Rewind continuously discovers cloud resources, maps application dependencies, and orchestrates recovery and rebuild of cloud applications from a single platform. New features include Protection Groups, which integrate application data and cloud configuration into a single air-gapped recovery experience, and policy-based protection that automatically enrolls resources by tag, region, and type across multiple cloud environments. Organizations can validate recovery readiness through application recovery simulations, including in isolated, air-gapped environments. The announcement cites research from Absolute Security's 2026 State of Enterprise Cyber Resilience report, which found that 57% of enterprises reported recovery from a cyberattack took more than 4.5 days on average. The enhancement is particularly relevant for UAE enterprises, which face nearly 800,000 cyberattacks per day according to the United Nations Security Council. Cloud Rewind is available now as an add-on workload within Commvault Cloud, with expanded Azure protection targeted for availability in the coming months. Pricing is metered based on protected cloud resources.
